In a season of streaks, St. Catharine College baseball coach Luther Bramblett is hoping to continue with the one his team started last week. The Patriots solidified their hold on fourth place in the Mid-South Conference with a four-game sweep of visiting West Virginia Tech last weekend that gave them a six game winning streak.

The important thing to remember in most sporting events is that no matter if it’s a close 1-0 win or a battle of offensive output, you only need to better your opponent by one. That’s what the Washington County Commanderettes learned as they beat the Bethlehem Banshees 22-21 in Campbellsville April 17 during play in the 5th Region All ‘A’ Tournament.

Both teams kept pace with each other as they posted two runs each in the first inning and added two more in the second to tie the game at 4-4.

The St. Catharine College softball team started the week off well with a conference sweep of a doubleheader Tuesday at Pikeville College. But Holly Smith’s squad couldn’t keep the momentum rolling as they fell victim to two doubleheader sweeps to end the week, losing at home to conference rival Lindsey Wilson on Saturday and at non-conference for Oakland City on Sunday.

After starting out with an 8-0 record in the Mid-South Conference, the St. Catharine College baseball team now finds itself with a 10-10 conference slat with eight conference games remaining. The Bat Pats’ MSC record hit the .500 mark after they were swept in a four game series at last weekend at Campbellsville.

The Commanderettes headed to Fort Walton Beach, Fla., during spring break, where they started off with a bang, winning their first game 12-2 against Franklin-Simpson.

Senior shortstop Kelly Hill led WC with four hits, while Meagan Spalding and Pooh Railey each had a pair. Olivia Thompson, Jaclyn Kelty, Linda Libby, Samantha Seger and Shay Yocum also had one hit each for WC.

Hannah Simms took the mound for the Commanderettes and held the Lady Wildcats to two runs on seven hits.

If a team goes on a losing skid, at least sunny, warm Florida is the place to do it. The Washington County High School baseball team spent its spring break in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., where it took part in the Florida Beach Bash.

The Commanders started off with a 6-3 loss to Jeffersontown on April 4. WC got off to a quick 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first, but only got three hits for the rest of the game, falling 6-3. Blake Smith took the loss for the Commanders.

The St. Catharine College men’s golf team finished fifth in the six team field last week in a tournament hosted by Georgetown College at Cherry Blossom Golf Club. The Patriots finished with a 36-hole total of 634.

Wright State won the tournament with a 586. University of the Cumberlands was second at 590. Lindsey Wilson was third at 596 while Georgetown was fourth with a 622 total. West Virginia Tech was sixth at 735.
